Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hammad: The Americans and the Jews Are Abhorred Worldwide; The Americans Are Led by the Jews, "Outcasts Who Live Off Corruption and Plundering"

Following are excerpts
from an interview with Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hammad, which aired
on Al-Aqsa TV on December 14, 2010:

Fathi Hammad:
The Jews have become abhorred and loathed outcasts, because they live
off corruption and the plundering of the peoples – not only the Arab
and Islamic peoples, but all the peoples of the world. The world has
begun to be aware of this corrupting danger, and to applaud Hamas. The
entire world says: "Bravo, Hamas, for confronting these people
pf corruption." Whenever we score a goal, by achieving something
against the Jews, the world applauds us. When we are playing, the entire
world supports us.

Therefore, I expect that
in the future, support for Hamas will grow. I also expect that in addition
to the aid convoys, Hamas will get some "heavy stuff," which
will help it be victorious. Hamas will receive its means of survival,
its arms, and its supporters from where it is lease expected, because
the hatred for the Jews is on the rise, and people who hate the Jews
find no [other] way to fulfill their hatred of the Jews and of the Americans
– the Americans too have become abhorred throughout the world, because
of their corruption, for they are led by the Jews – and they will
support us.
